I took a tour around the Yiwu Industrial Trade City - the largest wholesale market in the world. People come here from every country to buy goods to export. 5.5 million square meters, 7km long, this market is beyond giant. And it's all one interconnected building. I explored it for a day with Collin Abroadcast, a fellow market fanatic. From Christmas decorations to children's toys to hardware and tools, we found a bunch of stuff that blew our minds.

You know its a big building when it's divided into 'districts'. Not even 'zones', 'blocks' or 'areas'
Someone needs to do a proper documentary series on Yiwu. Some of those designs have been in circulation for decades. I recognise them from my childhood. So much of the world’s material culture must be tied up in that place.
No no no. many of these things actually come from Europe. The one Belt one Road opened. The train from London to Yiwu was opened last year. So it's actually the world's product
梁浩 This is equally or perhaps more interesting: where the designs originate. My partner noticed for example there was a collection of pig figurines with Russian blessings. This has no cultural significance to the Russians. So are they Chinese new year pigs for Russians? Are they Chinese or Russian designs? Are they importing or exporting and to where? Do they have the rest of the Zodiac or carry other languages?
madhaha my entire life has been one big Chinese fantasy disguised as SEARS, WALMARTZ, and thrift store lies...😐😣
One Belt one Road infrastructure linking Europe Asia Africa three continents. In the future, North America and South America will also be linked. So European products can be easily transported to Yiwu, and many products you see in Yiwu come from Europe. You can search on the TH-cam, one Belt one Road.
Have you seen the "exhibition and trade centre of African products" in the end? It's all about "made in Africa" things. This place is so big, that not only buyers all over the world come here to buy things, but also the sellers and producers come here to sell things.
When I was in collage, I once doing a translation work for the buyer from North Europe, and they want to buy some scarf. I was like ,ok ,North Europe, Rich, will be easy, cause they will not buy too cheap things. Cheap things is very annoying to check the quality by the way.And they tell me they want to buy some good quality with reasonable price.I was still a young man who want to do my job perfect at that time, so I find my friend who has a cousin own a factory which famous for their stable quality ,and the factory give me a very good price.
Then I send the sample and my price, but the Euro guy reply said quality is ok, but the price is too high. It is 14RMB each piece, for the quality it is very cheap.So I said this is my lowest price,if you want a lower one, it may have to drop the quality, and the Euro guys said OK,send me a sample.So I send a sample with lower quality and lower price,still not happy.A few round later, he finally agree to buy 4000pieces, in 7RMB.But to be truth, If I am the customer I will not buy that scarf even it is 7Rmb, I can not say it is GOOD quality,but he is the buyer,and he seems satisfied with the quality.
So 1 years later, I was be told that the scarf I sold to him,in Europe is 14EU each! 10 times of price.So next time when you guys blame times's poor quality which Made in China, blame the dealer.Cause they are the guys who make the orders.
Stir_fryCook_oo7 college and wow what a weird rant
@@mooselove Why is that weird? Some people have this bad image of china in terms of the quality of products they produce when the Chinese are perfectly capable of making quality products, it's because of businesspeople who rather sell low quality overpriced products then good quality products. Imo neither side is really wrong, except for the businesses that exploit sweatshops. I feel like Stif_fryCook_oo7 was trying to explain that with his anecdote.
@@kittycatcuties "North Europe"?
Sadly, A 10 times production price is not unusual. On other I know someone working with Electronics, and cursing over Chinese products don't live up to safefty standards. Only companies with Chinese workers, don't have these issues.
Sounds like a lot of ads I see on Instagram. Right away I’m like that’s a product I can buy for $2 on AliExpress and you’re selling it for $19.95. 😜 And it’s not even good quality.
So basically this market is like one big ass Market City inside of a city itself. It's like market Inception
its aliexppres the building
@@jarivanderheijden737 Seems like it. I bet you could walk around for a day or two [full 24 hour days] and not see the same stall twice
I want a 10 hours version of this video.
Light BWK i wanna like this but i dont want to ruin the 69 😔
I want 100 hours

So cool
Could you make this a series? It would be cool to see how many episodes it would take to cover the majority of the markets.
Well he said 75,000 stores - so he could probably make an entirely separate channel just for this market and not be able to fully cover it in a year.
I would like to see those 50 episodes!
Bryce Johnson you've got enough TH-cam content to last the next 10 years in this place
Bryce Johnson my friend told me that.....just stick around each yiwu store for 1 min....and do that like 8 hours a day without weekend break.....it will take you almost 6 months to browse each store once.
And you might need to consider the turnover, new old wholesaler come and go
Why are there no wedding dresses? Because the wedding dress is in Huqiu District, Suzhou City, China, where a whole street is a shop selling and customizing wedding dresses.😉
The guy meant white dresses. I think those are custom made and therefore can not be sold in bulk. Also, the designer ones are not all made in china.
Gotta love the Guy from Dubai - ''5 Shops 5 Countries - only Door Handles''
A good watch, thanks
ABHIJEET PAWAR Huh? I don't get what you're referring to.
@ABHIJEET PAWAR Yes. Looked like a Bohra guy from India. Judging from the man he was travelling with.
complete mindblowing, also the place is clean, i mean there's ton of people who goes there everyday but everything looked so clean and organized
Alex Araldi cuz this market is selling stuffs to the world.
Maybe China is not that messy of a place as you thought it'd be. It's pretty clean with well designed landscapes in most of the places I've been to.
Alex Araldi It's a mall for professionals who buy in bulk to resell, that's one of the reason I think
That city locates in one of the richer, cleaner and more educated provinces of China.
Make no mistake, each little shop represents a giant factory with thousands of workers. For each product a suitable mold and infrastructure must be in place to produce it. The mall like structure is simply for convenience of international traders.
Nice. This is like Alibaba in 5D.
Alibaba must be their lifetime biggest client.
The market is more early than Alibaba
Alibaba is nothing compared to this??
Pk
Ok
Yiwu is one of the commodity markets, it’s famous for small gadgets, low price and large stock. Actually in China different cities have its different products, for example, if you wanna buy electronic products, come to Shenzhen, for furnitures, to Foshan, clothes, to Guangzhou
Thanks Lucy..very helpful & informative...keep them coming districts vs products
And shoes where
wenzhou
@@festokaduma4679
That guy from Dubai just inspired me. 5 shops in 5 countries with just door handles. Amazing. Lol
@General YeahYeah I get you but didn't mean I would go into the same business. It just inspired me that I can go for a business that others may think is not a good choice.
Walmart cannot match a highly specialized stockist.
He's came from Dubai but the guy is indian 😂 that accent and that face ain't from Dubai
I think like the overuse of Like is like subliminal messaging or something like. It makes me want to like, like this video or like something.
Like, really? because it like, really makes me, like, not like it...
*Like according to the um- transcript of the video it like says like um they said "like" like 150 times!*
lmho
William Morey-Baker actually thought to like the video after that.
Woahh i didnt expect you here !
Jester classic is still cool imo
And they said infinity war was the most ambitious crossover event in history
The first time I went to China was the year 1983. I went there to visit my uncle and his family. They were dirt poor back then. They had almost nothing at all. Now, in just more than 30 years later, my cousin owns a garment factory and exports his products. When he plans to visit me, he will first wechat me and say, " Hey! I am going to visit you in a few days. What do you want? You name it. We have it."
God's timing is alyways perfect..
They worked smart & God helped them be what HE created them for.
Wow, that was an eye opener! The “Americana made in China” and “Made in China Confederate” stores were absolutely hilarious 😂
I was just thinking, right before you said it, that is like a permanent trade show :)
Your cinematography skills are getting so better!!
AliTKhan he mentioned that he sends footage to his editor in Mexico
Unlike your sentences lol
Loz Turner lmao
but he took the shots. lol
**His editor skills
*DUDE WHY DIDN'T YOU BUY THOSE SCISSORS, THAT'S SO AMAZING*
Because they would have buy a hundred of those
I agree with the comment below me.
This is a video i would sit and watch for 10 to 20 hour's.
A walkthrough, some lofi playing slightly, and just taking your time and taking it all in...
I'm sitting in my nice little US, MI, home, with my mouth agape, watching this video. I have known for years that EVERYTHING we own comes from China. Perfectly comfortable with the realization. I kind of lost track when the electronics market shifted from Japan to China, but that's a personal observation. Knowing the magnitude of the shift is what has me mindf*cked. It's places like this that I also could explore for weeks endlessly.
As of the time of my writing this post, the US and China are embroiled in trade wars. A friend of mine mentioned to me quite a few years back that China heavily relies on the US financially. I pooh-poohed his comment. I debated that China has global markets that they can easily turn to and crush the US. Seeing this, they still could. Granted, the UN would politely slap their hands in a gesture of political correctness. But I'll be damned if I'm not right in my position.
Hey man, if you want to experience China, let me know. You can work legally here in the state-run company as an English teacher in Shenzhen
@@charlesqin3944 how much can i get paid working in china?
Especially during the outbreak, US realized that China has a whole industry supply chain, and China no longer listens to them that much. So US worried that the world ’s second largest economy will threaten them. I think in the days to come, the United States will sanction China even more crazily.
USA used to have the design and brands and China was the low-cost producer. A perfect marriage for USA, they get the high margins while China gets the low margins. Now China is competing in the design and their OEM products and become the competitor. This is the reason for the trade war and the China bashing.
Great video as usual. Even though i knew all those stuff came from China, it still blew my mind to see how organized and clean the sampling place is, and the sheer size of it is just beyond words!
Also, the Confederation store made me laugh so much! Those people are buying that kind of stuff while the Chinese are like "sure, go ahead and hate us while we profit off your hate".
I have watched only a few minutes and I want already move to China
Herra Joku Lol IKR
Welcome
welcome，hahahaha
They only sell in large quantities....and most stores have samples
I came here before and the amount of stuffs available are just overwhelming. You really have to know what you are looking for otherwise you'll be lost. I swear my brain hurts after 5 hours looking around here. There are just too much stuffs it's crazy.
8:35~8:40 XD That shop came out of nowhere !!
A city built to promote and sell items a country produces. Bloody amazing.
Man, that's my hometown. If you wanna know more about YiWu, I may be able to help.
我去
Very nice :))
Nice to meet you.
How can i visit factories ? I just to see the workings
I always wondered, what is the price difference for wholesale on alibaba, compared to "in store" purchases in china?
You live in heaven :D
Wait... TH-cam is banned in china🤔
This place is my wet dream.
My wife is disappointed because you did not check out the kitchenware section. :-)
1. Go there
2. buy souveniers
3. pretend you've seen the World
jk :D
Very smart idea!
moq is probably a few hundred lmao
John Doe good idea
I'm going to get stickers from every city of the world on my luggage but no one knows they're bought from Yiwu.
But you have to buy at least 500 of each. Good luck
Editing is simply Awesome............
If I walked into that toy area as a kid I would have froze, my right eye would have twitched three times, fallen out of the socket onto my check , I would have crapped my self, screamed really night pitched for 35 seconds, and then passed out smiling.
so true, my heart rate boosted so much while I saw that toy area.
Now I know where I should travel to hahahaha
Even i m grown up that cotton stuffed toy is heaven😭😭😭
I was there for my previous business in 2016 and I can confirm all you've said. I was there for 10 days and I barely covered what I came there to see. You don't realize the size of the place unless you're there. Imagine your local mall. Now imagine if you stack 100 of them next to each other and make the shops tiny. Now take all of that and make it 5 floors. Now you have what Yiwu really is.
I wish you had walked the hardware district. It's really amazing. You can literally go there and create your own tool brand within days.
All the big chains like Wallmart, Costco etc have offices in the building. They are there to look for new things.
As a candian living in China you did this video so much justice on the manufacturing side of things.
HOLY THIS IS AMAZING PLEASE MAKE EPISODES ON THIS SO WE CAN EXPLORE THE WHOLE OF THE MARKETS WITH YOU
I was cracking up at the beautiful irony of that confederate shop
I just had my mouth open the entire video. This is so incredible!
blew my mind. damn. 2 hours wouldn't be enough for a video like this!
Dude why didn't you buy that? That's so amazing!
Just buy the whole place, it's so much easier! */s*
Wtf I got to this part of the video the second I read your comment and it synced up lmao that's crazy
Dude why don't you live there? That's so amazing!
happens to me alot
Yeah, that particular thing he missed that one time, wow. Just, wow.
this is amazing. thank you for doing this video! an excellent perspective on global markets
After the “like” counter it’s all I could hear. Better or worse than saying erm and err do we think?
This is a good piece of advice for everyone when you speak or present something. If you can't get rid of a tic, NEVER point it out. It will only make people get distracted when you do that tic.
I just noticed that after the counter he used "right?" in the same context and what an improvement that was
It has its place but using it three times in a sentence signifies a kind of... impatience with yourself to finish your thought.
Giving yourself a second of silence, be that before or during your sentence, is actually a power move.. who would have guessed :P
This is... like... mindblowing. Even on video, it's like, not what you can picture in your mind. Like, I can't even imagine how it must feel to be there. Awesome video.
think about 40 years ago China has nothing, really proud of my country.
gbyfbi
me yooヾ(●´∇｀●)ﾉ哇～
That's actually insane. It took China 40 years to completely rule world commerce. Blows my mind how much stuff China makes and exports.
Yes but it comes at a HUGE environmental price to China.
True, however that's the price of industrialisation. Its the same here in the UK and in the USA.
That's true. But without it, we will still a poor country, people even have not enough food....Just look at India, they made nothing, and still have the HUGE environmental price.....
China surely a superpower of manufacturing .
@Heather Larson yeah, and no time for Christianity or Islam either....
turkey good
We used to have a miniature version of basically this, but more aimed at retail rather than wholesale. It burned down and it honestly left a hole in my heart. Places like these are infinitely fun to explore. I miss that place. :(
glad to see you collab with other YTbers!
At this rate, how can I be sure I am NOT made in China????
Try doing some everyday thing in an insanely skillful way like wrapping a present in 2 seconds flat. Did it work? If yes, it's quite likely you've been made in China.
11:55 Is this girl in the background dropping her pants about to take a dump on the lawn?
yeah you can see her shitting in the next cut
12:05 her mom is taking a picture of her pooping!!
hahahaha
@@joshs.5623 Poor girl probably has to pee really bad. Have you ever seen toilets in those kinda joints? I really don't blame the mom either... A bit of public embarrassment vs a lifetime of some weird and wonderful disease...
nah, she is just peeing. I did the same behind cars when I was a kid
Dude I love these kind of video vlogs, Please do more and make it a series, I think its so cool to explore these massive markets like this, Next time you go be sure to load up on some cool electronics!
I LOVED LOVED LOVED this video. Please make more like this. This video makes me want to visit china out of sheer curiosity! Thanks for the high quality videos as always. I think you're my favorite youtuber. Also wanted to add: The editing of your videos are amazing! Love it. Keep up the good work!
Melpomenex welcome to china and will assist you in this market
AliExpress in life (live) like :)
It’s more like Alibaba with Min. Order Quantity of 100’s. AliExpress is the retail market where you can buy 1pc.
Ристевски Петар aliexpress items come from here,about 2-3% of all items here
Catalogues, wholesale stores, filosofie, history..... this vid got my mind blown. Thank you
I am so jealous, you could literally hand pick each item for a business ,negotiate and ship it strait to headquarters here in the u.s.a. that's amazing
Man oh man. Seeing these chinese markets makes me want to learn the language and live there. Just knowing that anything you would ever want to purchase is in the markets blows me away
This was so entertaining! Great editing as well!
Your production quality has gotten so good lately, scotty. Keep up the amazing work!
I really appreciate you posting this. As far as I can tell this is one of the only videos on TH-cam of this place, so I would be really interested in seeing more, if you decide to make more videos of it in the future. I just subscribed, and I'm looking forward to more of your great videos.
I was there once, I wandered around for 3 days and didn't even cover one whole level in one district
China is awesome
LOVED THIS! So helpful and informative
That was amazing! Thank you so much
you are such a positive and sweet person, i love your videos
I want to go there so bad... I could probably spend weeks exploring
4:01 Ya forgot the "right count." lol Nice vid. Fascinating! Thank you!
First time seeing this video, love how you guys are recording each other on motorbikes between the markets. Great video!
Humans are made in heaven, everything else is made in China.
There was a Russian indie band named “Everything is Made in China”.
hahahahaaa..yes basically everything..
God was made in China.
@@CL-ct5nd and God left China after he was made.
The West sold out every idea we ever had just to make a bit more profit. What a gift to China. The least they could do is acknowledge it.
You made me notice the LIKE ffs now i cant unhear it
every video thinks its funny to do..but isn't..and who says it anymore?
This has to be the coolest video I have seen in awhile, thanks guys!
This place is literally bigger than the "village" I live in.
Get out! You entered the MATRIX!!! Mind= Blown.
Your voice went so high after you got your shoes cleaned lol
Love ur vids! these co op's uve been doing is really good!
i go to this wholesale market with my dad every year and its interesting to see the rise and fall of different trends throughout the years. this place is so big, in some corridors, they look endless. personally, my favourite part is the toy sector because knockoff toys can be mad funny.
There is an other one somewhere in China where you can buy everything related to fabric with nearly 50.000 shops! Each building is related to something like socks, trousers, belts, ...
Julian Knödler do you have any name of that?
I asked my colleague and wait for his answer
I guess you are talking about Haining Leather City where you can buy the leather product. It is in the Haining about 170km away from Yiwu.
there are many specialized market or even entire city in China, all over the place; for specialized i mean the entire city or town only sells one thing, like umbrellas or eyeglasses. There are retail or wholesale stores in EVERY STREET just selling one type of item.
and whoever selling stuff in Yiwu is probably just a representative of the industry union from that city
Mind blowing video, thank you! You earned my sub :D
OMG i see all these youtube people in China working together in their videos. SOOO COOOL
Love your videos. I truly love factory tours and try to get to some in my travels. You have really peaked my interest in traveling to China.
I would love an in-depth video about how the markets work
MILLION views coming soon :) keep up the great work! LOVE from INDIA
china is awesome
I some ways not like humane issues and it is illegal not to test on animals if you want to sell there
Said no one.
Asia in general is awesome. China is the craziest though, in a good way!
The country has come a long way from being gang-banged by colonial powers, their own overseas neighbour, dramatic domestic changes to incredible economic, military and technological superpower! Which of course, really pisses Washington but that's for another debate, he he...

@@amazingdany and so fast. It is the fastest develloping the country the world has ever seen. It even dwarfs the ussr, and that allready was spectacular and unprecidented.
They are doing in one generation what took the west centuries to achieve. You at least have to admire that.
Now just hope they can solve their internal problems and it has a bright future ahead.
This building is full of “factory stores”. It’s not necessarily made in this town, but any business that is of a global supply capability basicly has a factory sample store in this building. 30% of the worlds consumables are ordered in this building. Most of the “non food” items in Walmart, were ordered in this building, everything “except food” in your dollar/pound stores were ordered in this building.
14:55 this is very interesting right here, if you notice Scots reaction here this is the physical reaction to a phenomenon called “culture shock” which is very interesting because he’s live in China for a long time, he’s walked through these markets, he’s met the monks on the streets, and he’s traveled... a lot... to see someone who is from my perspective at least this cultured and this aware of specifically Chinese culture here experience culture shock is just...it goes to show you that no matter how much you know a place, or a people, or an area, there’s always something new to learn
I wanna see you riding that hover bike while vlogging HAHA
Actually not a hover bike, that's a Halfbike which was Kickstarted years ago.
When people say everything’s made in China, I usually just goes ‘hmm, alright.’ But this video put everything into perspective. Definitely made my idea of ‘“everything” A LOT bigger than before. Great video.
Thank you so much for making a video about this amazing place. Ill need to visit to really understand it all.
Dude. Your videos are so addictive.
Mind blowing... each item comes from China and is then sold under dozens of different brand names 😮
Best video about Yiwu, I am going there in 15 days. Thanks guys
how did I miss this, great content scotty
China is wonderful in many aspects.
Final like count : 197
I counted them:)
It like felt like a lot more... Right?
been there like 5 times and even lived in yiwu for 3 months..love it
I've been there for many time, literally this massive market is such a great place for buyers 👌👌👌
Everybody in who works in film/theatre props right now: 👀👀👀👀
Hello.from pakistan
Edit is amazing!
wow! amazing. hope to see more of the series.
those retro mopeds are just absolutely sweet looking.
also gottal love the upside-down german flag decal saying, "XPLOIT professional tools". china never disappoints.
you should have got the hover boards to explore the market
Imagine what the catalog would look like for every single product there. It would be the thickest book on earth!
I don't know how I missed this video? Glad I found it!
😍😍😍 Heaven. I may never go home. Hobby Lobby and Michael's already takes up a good 2-3 hours of my day when I go.
